Here’s why Aamir Khan starrer Lal Singh Chaddha release was pushed to February 2022

Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer Lal Singh Chaddha was set to release on Christmas this year, but the movie was pushed to February 2022. The real reason why the Forrest Gump remake release was rescheduled is because there were already a lot of competing movies in the Christmas week which was to see Lal Singh Chaddha make it to the silver screen originally.

As per a report by SpotboyE, a source close to the Lal Singh Chaddha project revealed, “Aamir Khan and his co-producers Viacom 18 have voluntarily taken their film to February 2022. The Christmas week of 2021 (which is the week when Aamir traditionally releases his films ) already has Kabir Khan’s ‘83 (December 24), the Shahid Kapoor sports film Jersey (December 31) and Rohit Shetty’s Ranveer Singh starrer Cirkus (December 31) lined up for release.”
